Remember when open ai was a nonprofit first and foremost, and we were supposed to trust they would make AI for good and not evil? Feels like it was only Thanksgiving…

I mean, there was all that drama where the board formed to prevent this from happening kicked out the CEO trying to do this stuff, then the board got booted out and replaced with a new board and brought back that CEO guy. So this was pretty much going to happen.

Effective altruism is just capitalism camoflauge, it's also just really bad at being camoflauge

Effective altruism could work if the calculation of "amount of good" an action creates wasn't performed by the person performing that action.

E.g. I feel I'm doing a lot of good buying this $30m penthouse in the Bahamas.

I can't spell, don't blame me for relying on an ordinarily quite useful tool.
